  1. Valid and Reliable Assessment of Uncommon Learning Experiences Kim Carter kcarter@qedfoundation.org

  2. Extended Learning Opportunities • Small learning environments • Hands-on learning • Real world, relevant learning experiences

  3. Extended Learning Opportunities • Safe, structured environments for students outside of the regular school day • Offer a range of programming • Utilize new and innovative approaches to learning

  4. Group ELO - English Language Arts • Poetry Slam Focus • English Language Arts , Poetry HQT Community • The Bridge Café, Manchester Partner • Research Poetry Slam and genre • Write poetry appropriate for presentation Goals • Public present for audience of peers, staff, superintendent at Bridge Café Poetry Slam • Students earned English credit, discovered passion for expressive language arts and Result continue to study poetry.

  5. ELO Example: Geogami Geometry Can Math Glass Artist BE Art? Origami This E.L.O. leveraged a relationship with a stained-glass artist who helped the students create “mathematically correct artwork.” The final project was in glass, with design work done in origami, exploring trigonometric functions, polygons and polyhedra .

  6. ELO Example: Geogami Individual + Group ELO 1 Credit Geometry Semester (4 months) Standards targeted included: • Solve problems involving perimeter, circumference and area of two- dimensional figures circumference. • Solves problems on and off the coordinate plane involving distance, midpoint, perpendicular and parallel lines, or slope. • Makes and defends conjectures, constructs geometric arguments, uses geometric properties, or uses theorems to solve problems involving angles, lines, polygons, circles, or right triangle ratios.

  7. Cardiac Surgery ELO MANCHESTER CENTRAL SENIOR Causes and treatment of congestive heart failure HQT: Biology teacher COMMUNITY PARTNER: Elliot Hospital GOALS: 1. cite implications of biotechnology of the medical fields 2. connect basic anatomy of related physical systems for cardiac surgery 3. explore career path, including financial needs, aptitudes and education requirements RESULT: ½ biology credit and deepened passion to pursue medical career in cardiac surgery

  8. Validity and Reliability • Validity: The assessment measures what it intends to measure • Reliability: The assessment yields consistent results. High reliability is a function of specificity, careful development, and good administration of the assessment, not a function of the form of the assessment. • Reliability is a requisite for validity.

  9. Moderation Process • Development – Specificity – Quantitative and Qualitative • Testing – Consensus Moderation • Implementation – Guidelines for consistency

  11. Three Stages for Use of the Process Rubrics 1. Planning Stage “ What’s Expected?” 2. Along the way (Formative Stage) “Where am I?” 3. Finally (Summative Stage) “Met? Not Yet?”
